The Hamad Healthcare Quality Institute will include a number of divisions spanning a range of priority areas in the healthcare improvement field. These will include: Health research, innovation and improvement, implementation and knowledge transfer and education.
These plans to establish new services and solutions highlight HMC's continued commitment to its patients and its ongoing leadership and vision in the field of healthcare improvement of Qatar.
